hey all. No hand history 'cause it's from PokerShare and that site tilts me way too much toremember to get HH #'s from.

So, as happens to me everytime I play on PSh, I got good cards early, mostly big non-pairs and mid pockets. There's a very Loose, semi-passive player on my right - in BB.
To the right of them is a semi-loose (say 35% VPIP. I'm trying to learn how to talk PT) aggr. player - in SB.
Since I've gotten decent cards, I've been raising a lot, and had to fold to some agression when my AJ flops QQT or my pocket 9s ran into a KJQ flop. IE, I'm getting loose calls now, from more than just the person to my right.
So, SLAA is SB and LSP is BB.
I am UTG with KQo. I raise, folded to the SB who calls and BB calls.

Flop is Q A A.
SB leads, BB calls, I...?

raise and see where you stand

raise and see where you stand

I would fold before I raised.

Your hand is not vulnerable, but it could be crushed. This is the clearest case of wa/wb ever. I would just call down, folding to a riase anywhere, raising nowhere.

Whjat?

I think this is a clear call down
not scaring the LSP out of the hand is fine, as is not letting SB 3-bet us with QJ or a bluff or whatever.
I don't see any point in raising this hand.

Raising for the sole purpose of finding out where you stand is a spew.

Thanks. I called down. No way to fold the river after the SB leads flop turn river, right? Too much chance he has JJ on down...

It's been brutal for me on PSh so far. First ten minutes in 7 straight sessions I'm already down 25BB as my good cards get outdrawn or on occasion outcarded. If I hadn't been able to dig myself out a couple of times, I'd be in the hole twice the 50BBs I'm in now.
I almost posted a hand where I rivered trips against a total loose passive wondering if I should've checked behind after betting the other rounds. (I lost J5 v. JT. If he had been a TAG, I probably would've checked behind.) I'm starting to wonder if I should raise AA.
